Title: Cigar Geeks Secret Santa 2014
Post by: Rebecca Silverwolf on 11/06/2014 12:50 PM
It's that time of year, time to get the Secret Santa rolling again. Here's how it works:

Let me know in this thread if you are interested in participating. You must have achieved Veteran status or higher to be part of this. The cutoff date to get your name in will be November 28th, no exceptions will be made to this. You will then be assigned, at random, another person from the list to play Santa for. You will send your recipient a total of six cigars. This will include 5 good quality sticks, which you think your recipient will enjoy. One of these five sticks should be designated as a New Years Eve smoke, typically people have done this with the highest end or most rare stick they send, though this is not required. The sixth cigar you send is the "Lump of Coal" cigar, and should be a smoke that would be worthy of giving to a cigar mooch or annoying relative.

The cigars should be sent in time to arrive before Christmas. Please take into account that mail is typically a little slower at that time of year. Also, please remember this is a SECRET Santa, you aren't supposed to let your recipient know you are their Santa. (Until the gift arrives, anyway.)

To get a better idea what to send to your recipient, take a look at any posted wishlists, as well as past reviews.

If you have any questions, you can post them here or PM me.

Just a note to the newer members of the Secret Santa:

Although Geek math and generosity is legendary at here at CG, we try to keep the Secret Santa to the rules; i.e. 6 cigars total (1 of those very special & 1 of those a lump of coal).  This puts everybody on a level playing field and avoids making somebody else feel like they didn't send enough or that their gift didn't measure up to other gifts.  Its supposed to be a fun exchange and not cause stress for anyone because of financial or other circumstances.

Just an FYI before we start this up.   :bright:

I believe that is exactly what prompted Bruce to post this. I guess the rules this year will be a little more strict. We do not want anyone else to feel like their package wasn't enough. If you feel the need to bomb or otherwise your person please do it in a second package or a part clearly marked as not part of the secret Santa.

One stick is a lump of coal eh? This should make it fun. I do have a question, are extra gifts allowed to be attached to the cigars? IE a beverage to pair with said smokes or perhaps some chocolates etc?

Thanks, Bruce.

I'm not going to tell people that under no circumstances should you send any extras with this. I'm all for people acting as the spirit of generosity moves them. However, do try to keep it reasonable if you really feel you must send extras. Also, if you do not (or cannot) send extras, it is neither expected nor required that you do so. So long as you send the six cigars outlined in the rules, you have sent all that you need send.

If people are really feeling moved by the holiday spirit, you can always just bomb some random Geeks.

Looking like another hefty list of geeks this year.  Just a reminder to help out your Santa, unblock your wishlist or VH so they can browse your stash.  I understand some don't want to show their current inventory, but at least the previous smokes and or wishlist would make it allot easier.

I'm sure my wishlist is obnoxious as well, my giftee does not have a wish list up. If this describes you, you have about 24 hours to get a list up. I am super busy coming up and leaving town for a bit on the 18th so I will most likely be packing up tomorrow night and mailing on wed, since I am going to the post office anyway. Hopefully the wishlist-less person will take care of this tonight, or else I will have to "make due" also!

Ok, no wish list up for me also.  But in the sense of fairness here are a few thoughts on what I like.
Blonds with big.....Oh wait wrong list!

My standard "go to" cigars are generally the CAO Brasilia GOL!, DE Nica Rustica, LGC Serie R, Punch Rare Corojo
Lately been smoking the Flatbed Reds & Greens, along with the Crowned Heads Four Kicks & JD Howards,  Also the DPG Series JJ and Blue Labels
What I don't have enough of is the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especials (any year)
What I would like to get my hands on would be Crowned Heads Mason Dixon North & South

One of the spots on my wishlist covers the board so to speak it says to the effect of whatever you think I should try or would like. I know it opens me up for dog rockets but it also covers for cool sticks I have yet to hear about.

Quotejharrisx5 - My dearest wish...a bottle of Havana Club....  

Hey Jason, I got a bottle in Paris over the summer. I had high expectations... it was kind of nasty and unrefined... but worth the experience. No else would drink it, so I downed to whole bottle in a few days. 


Yeah...I have heard the 3 or 7 yr is better and less costly...I'll try some someday!

I drink the 7 year old HC and it's pretty darn good and very cheap. I always bring back as many as I can whenever I'm off to "the" island. I do have a few spare bottles, too bad my recipient doesn't have it in his wish list ;-)

If you can get it, the Cubay is pretty good too but a bit more pricey.

Great to see some of these launching and being close to delivery already.

Just a reminder that your gift should arrive with your recipient sometime before the 25th. Also remember that mail can move a little slower than normal around this time of the year.

My wish list was opened but I realized yesterday only that my Public VH was set as private. All fixed now.

My package will leave the North (Pole) on Monday, my recipient should have it before December 20th but if USPS takes it around the USA for a little sightseeing (as it sometimes happens), my package will still make it on time for Christmas

It's way cool to be a Geek, but being a Secret Santa Geek is just a blast.

Heads up...

Nicely done John.  If I'm seeing the picture correct, I do believe that the NYE smoke is the new CAO Brazilia Amazon Basin

It is a Amazon Basin I bought it and a 601 Warhead at the same time and since I smoked the Warhead I sent Toby the Amazon Basin.

A lucky Geek will get what's coming to him today according to USPS. Santa's gift was at my kid's local post office early this morning and is out for delivery. Check your mailbox / doorstep if you live in a US state that:

- Is snowy in the winter
- Shares a border with Canada
- Loves to tax stuff and mingle in people's private lives
- Is sometimes called a Nanny State
- where 16 Oz is a maximum, not a minimum

Need I say more?

Can't wait to find out if I did good or not :biggrin:

yah the USPS is really slow this time of year.  I sent mine out Tuesday priority 2 day, or maybe its 3 day, but it is actually going to be 5 day.  I forgot to put the boveda pack in, hope they are ok.

The cigars will be fine. They aren't delicate flowers. As long as you put them in a sealed plastic bag they can withstand anything for a couple of weeks...unless, of course, you launch into the heart of the sun!  :biggrin:
